I'm extremely done with everything and everyone.

I'm still live! It's day 3 of my sub-a-thon, today we're gonna be working on art (you decide what I draw) and attempting to make an entire YouTube video in one stream! Come hang out and help me decide :D
hey if yall get a message or reply like this, this is fake
this is not actual bsky, most likely someone trying to scam or hack accounts
they appear currently to only be targeting artist accounts
spread the word!!
timeless wisdom
Wolf is bigger than a fox. Has bigger ears, bigger tail, bigger snoot, bigger teeth.
How could a Fox win against that?
Somewhat. I'm working on things. Thanks 💙
nothing?! okay, maybe a boykisser version will do better?
your shirt is from a corporation and says it has cum on it
my shirt is from a furry creator and actually has cum on it
we are not the same
Cont: I hope this reaches someone and becomes inspired to think about what they participate in and support. Support the side that cares about art and liberty, please. Or we won't have either anymore... I have more to say about government censorship specifically, but not yet... Rant Over.
Cont: support them even if companies and the government tries to stop or censor them. This leads into so many more things, but both corporate control over digital media and government overreach into our digital freedoms need to stop. Stop letting them take advantage of you... cont-->
Cont: I'm glad Valve is still hanging in there on holding the values of their roots. I wish all studios were like them... but they're the exception. Most other studios are becoming more and more greedy and corrupt. Support the rebels. Support the people who care. Cont-->
Cont: I'm seeing that independent devs and artists create things way better than anything these big companies can produce, and that's great. But I'm also seeing that there's people who still defend these companies, and these companies crush fan projects constantly. Cont-->
Cont: to live in a world where we can freely create and have fun, focused on having positive experiences instead of about money and legal bullshit. Where instead of greedy selfish suits making billions, passionate artists and devs get supported and art thrives in society... Cont-->
Cont: while being able to all contribute and shape these experiences however we want. Open source should be the standard, and art should be shared and appreciated, while still being personal and an outlet of self-expression. We should be able... cont-->
Cont: we want to have the experiences we want and have control and freedom, we all need to contribute to stopping supporting these companies, and support passionate people instead. I hope we eventually are able to access everything for cheap or free, and can share experiences easily... cont-->
Cont: be able to have any experience they desire without being gouged for money and given total shit in return. Media would be about the passion for the media and the experience created instead of profits. Obsession over money ruins everything. If... cont-->
Cont: experiences. You have control, don't let them control you. I know this won't reach many, but I need a space to rant out my frustration and simultaneous relief. Independent creation is, and should, take over media. In an ideal world, these companies will fall and people will... cont-->
Cont: making better stuff than the big studios these days anyways. Don't be another whale for a corporation. Stop supporting the majority of mainstream media. Open source projects and independent devs/artists care about the end results, these companies don't. Stop letting them control your... cont->
Studio/company, and they just see us as cash whales. The passionate devs and artists, are the future of art and tech. I used to dream about being a part of the tech or art industry, and now I want nothing to do with it. Enough with corporatism. Support independent devs/artists. They're... cont-->
Individual talents that push progress forward these days. Constantly I see these small and even solo devs put big companies to shame. I see people being offered things from independent devs that mainstream devs say is impossible. Corporatism has completely taken over every mainstream tech... cont-->
Cont: I haven't played a AAA game or used a mainstream tech product in quite a while. My phone being the last I own due to the phones I have access to, but that's changing soon too. The entire tech industry does not care about the tech anymore. It's the independent studios and... cont-->
Cont: Most of the tech companies, no matter their roots, don't care about the things they make anymore. There might be some good devs in the industry, but they're overworked and forgotten about; and the big suits don't care about what they think. Many quit or retired. Cont-->
Every year I see more and more indie devs just outpace and outperform full tech studios. Every open source project, every solo/small team game, so many things. The entire tech industry is corrupted and uncaring about experiences these days. Only independent devs have passion and care now. Cont-->
I am never forgiving Activision Blizzard if they actually go all the way with this lawsuit against TWoW.
I've had a lot happen this past year, and I wouldn't be fun for anyone if I went. Not to mention the extra social stress on top of everything else. I was not financially nor mentally prepared. So sorry. It's the first I'm missing since 2016 when I first started going to fur cons.
Just so people are aware. I'm not at AC this year. Had several people message asking, so I just want to make it clear I didn't go this year. Even despite it being so close to me.
One of these days I’ll get it done… I hope
